"The way you store it is the most important thing," he told Tech
Insider. "A lot of people just throw produce straight into their
crisper drawer, uncovered. And it's gonna shrivel pretty
quickly."

So what's his secret? When you get home, take that produce
out of any packaging from the store and put it into another
plastic bag.

"You definitely want to keep [it] in a Ziploc bag, usually open
so there's a little ventilation," he said. "It creates a
nice little environment for herbs, citrus, carrots, mushrooms,
[etc.]. It gives them a little bit of a chance to breathe but
also traps some humidity in there to keep them fresher."

You could take the opportunity to wash the produce when you're
transferring it, too, to save you a step later. Just be sure you
dry it completely.

It's a little more work than simply tossing produce in the
fridge, but hopefully it can keep you from having to toss it
in the trash.
